How to turn Show frequent sites on Taskbar on or off in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11

The “Show frequent sites” option in Microsoft Edge lets you see your most visited websites right from the taskbar on Windows 11. When you right-click the Edge icon, a small menu pops up with shortcuts to your top pages so you can open them fast without digging through history.

Microsoft tests this feature in preview versions like Canary, Beta, and Dev builds before adding it to the main public release. You can turn this setting on or off in just a few clicks if you want to keep your taskbar 🖥️ clean.

Here’s How to Change the Setting:

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Click the three dots icon in the top right corner. This is the Settings and more menu (you can also press Alt+F). Then, click on Settings.
3. In the left sidebar, click on Privacy, search, and services. Then, on the right side, click on Search and connected experiences.

   • If you don’t see a left sidebar, click the three lines button in the top left corner. Or, make the Edge window wider until the sidebar appears.
4. Find the setting called Show frequent sites on Windows taskbar. Turn it On or Off. The default is Off.
5. You can now close the Settings tab in Microsoft Edge.

Launch Microsoft Edge and click the three dots icon in the top-right corner to open the Settings ⚙️ and more menu (or press Alt+F). Select Settings from the dropdown. Click Privacy, search, and services in the left sidebar, followed by Search and connected experiences on the right side.

Summary

Managing this setting lets you control exactly which websites appear in your Edge jump list.
